Jimi Hendrix used Fender Stratocaster in almost all appearance. Jimi had two guitars as a main guitar, the Stratocaster white cardboard 1965, and Stratocaster Sunburst 1964. for the amplifier, Jimi Hendrix used Marshall 100 watt head and a cabinet B (below) 4X10 (four speakers 10 "), Jimi also the distortion effects Fuzz Face and Octavia effects to create a tone one octave higher than not played. Other effects are also something special is the cry baby wah pedal from Dunlop Jimi. All equipment (guitar, amply, and effects), have been patented by the author on behalf of the factory and into Hendrix Hendrix signature series.
